Turtle Island: Caribbean's Hotspot for Celebrities and Tourists

As of October 2025, the Caribbean island nation of St. Vincent and the Grenadines has emerged as the fastest-growing tourism destination in the region. The country saw a remarkable 17.3% increase in visitor numbers during the first half of 2025 compared to the same period in 2024.

Known for its stunning natural beauty, St. Vincent and the Grenadines is home to a diverse array of attractions, from the volcanic black sand beaches of Mt. Wynne to the lush rainforests and the country's largest volcano, La Soufrière. The island's waters are teeming with marine life, including whales, dolphins, and the iconic green sea turtles that have earned it the nickname "Turtle Island."

To accommodate the surge in tourism, the island nation is set to welcome several new hotel and resort developments by 2027. These include a 280-room Marriott Autograph Collection property, a 360-room family-focused resort, and a 150-room beachfront resort with overwater bungalows.

With its year-round temperate climate, St. Vincent and the Grenadines is quickly becoming a prime destination for travelers seeking the perfect Caribbean getaway, complete with stunning natural landscapes, diverse wildlife, and a growing selection of luxury accommodations.
